you picked up 20whp from just a FMIC upgrade at the same boost levels?? That's a big increase.

Other FMICs on the Mazdaspeed have seen similar gains in terms of Peak Gain. As I recall the ION FMIC offered similar gains in terms of the peak gain and hiboost is up there somewhere close. (largest difference between before and after dyno).Super Matty P said:

i remember seeing 17whp on the BEGi fmic....i thought that was about the highest.

ou forget, I owned a MSP .... iknow the intercoolers aren't terribly efficient but 20whp is a bit much IMO. I just wanted to make sure we were talking about a straight swap with no other variables.

no'one's trying to disprove anything. I'm only asking if all the variables are the same.

The stock smic isn't that bad. I also find it hard to believe you gained 20hp from just putting a different intercooler.
well he is spiking to 7, staying at 6 compared to his 5psi from before. that plus the improved efficiency would make 20whp i thinks. plus the more boost you run the more the front mount will become noticeable. using a joeP mbc with my stock IC at 12psi I am slower than 9psi with my front mount. (my new stockboost) either way im sure he must be happy with it.
The Mental Addiction kit also comes with a shorty intake and cone filter guys... so Andy went from bone stock at 137 on that dyno, up to 157 with the full Mental Addiction FMIC kit that includes SRI with cone, SPAL fans, and BoostSciences BPV.
The numbers would have been even better than 20whp in my opinion too... I got off the phone with Beau after the car put down 137, and it was late in the evening a few months ago (dyno is outside so it had to be chilly). When Andy ran his car for the after runs, it was easily mid to high 80's, so it was a really good test for how the intercooler dealt with the heat. I think if the before runs had been done in that heat, the numbers would have been lower and would have fallen off a lot over multiple runs.
If I'm not mistaken, the power was almost the same for all 3 after runs, and they weren't spraying the IC between them either.

yup, we initially ran the car ( stock ) in mid jan. then with the MAM FMIC kit last weekend. All three runs with the kit were back to back, no spraying, didnt even fully stop the car. slowed it down to 2k for a second, then got back on it. There is nothing else done to the car.

How about a dyno graph image that is 50x smaller without sacrificing any image quality
It is very good, however, in the stock run the car was not taken to the limit in the rpm range. It was only taken to 5200RPMs. If taken to 6200 it would have made over 145 WHP.
You need to compare the difference in the 5200 rpm line to be realistic.
